8. SOUTH WEST the South West Region Includes One Scoping Area Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters 8. SOUTH WEST The South West Region includes one Scoping Area Search The Scoping Areas of Search is SW3-6 (Solway Firth). 8.1 Resource 8.1.1 Wind resource is moderate to high in the Solway Firth with the mean power density in area of search SW3-6 reaching 0.8 kWm-2 which decreases to 0.4 in the closer to shore parts. This power is generated from an annual maximum mean wind speed of 8.7 ms-1. 8.1.2 The summer mean power density is recorded at just 0.35 kWm-2 s from 6.7 ms-1wind speed. The mean power in winter is greater at 1.3 kWm-2 s from a mean wind speed of 10.5 ms-1. Figure 8.1 Solway Wind Energy Resource (Annual Mean Power) 322 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.2 Solway Wind Energy Resource (Annual Mean Wind Speed) 8.2 Aquaculture 8.2.1 Marine aquaculture sites within the South West Region are shown in Figure 8.3. The figure reveals that there is only one shellfish aquaculture site located within this region. No finfish sites occur are present. 323 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.3 Aquaculture activities in the South West Region 8.2.2 The Aquaculture Industry in South-West Scotland is believed to employ nine full-time and five part-time staff. Solway Firth 8.2.3 There are no aquaculture facilities within the area of potential development. A native oyster fishery is present in Loch Ryan to the north. The area forms part of the South West and Strathclyde regions responsible for the following production: 18% of Atlantic salmon, 100% of marine rainbow trout, 100% of halibut, 11% of mussels for the table, 1% of mussels for on-growing, 84% of Pacific oysters for the table, 3% of Pacific oysters for on-growing, 100% of native oysters for the table and on-growing and 93% of queen scallops for the table. 324 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.4 Aquaculture activities in the Solway (Area of Search) 8.3 Aviation 8.3.1 At present, there is no commercial aviation activities operating in the South- West Scotland Region. 8.3.2 Figure 8.5 below details the related buffers and zone classifications for aviation activities using air space within this region. 325 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.5 Aviation activities in the Solway (Area of Search) 8.4 Bathymetry and Seabed 8.4.1 This area south of the Solway Firth Luce Bay and Wigtown Bay shows shallow bathymetry of 20-60 m deepening in an east-west direction. The westernmost tip of this area then deepens rapidly, reaching depths of 140 m. 8.4.2 Sediments in this area get coarser in an east-west direction with sand giving way to gravelly sand and sandy gravel with some small muddy and rocky patches towards the western side of the area where the water gets deeper. The protected sands of the mouth of Luce Bay open to sandy gravel and muddy sandy gravel in the middle of this area of search. 326 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.6 Solway (Area of Search) Seabed Sediments 8.4.3 Predicted habitats from the EUNIS data also show habitats of finer sediment at the eastern part of the search area with coarser sediments towards the middle of the area. The westernmost point displays a variety of habitats in a small extent which include some small rocky patches in deeper water. Figure 8.7 Solway (Area of Search) Seabed Predicted EUNIS Habitats 327 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters 8.5 Cultural Heritage 8.5.1 Figure 8.8 shows the location of key cultural heritage assets in the South West. Figure 8.8 Key cultural heritage assets in the South West Region 8.5.2 The area includes a number of wreck sites, including one uncategorised wreck and a number of non-dangerous wrecks. There are numerous further wreck sites within the wider region. The possible location of the wreck site of Valhalla has been recorded in the National Monuments Record of Scotland. Around the coast there are areas where there is a likelihood of submerged archaeology, and this overlaps with a small corner of the eastern end of the area of search. The World Heritage Site and its buffer zone (Hadrian’s Wall) are not shown on this map, but they lie to the east of the area (with the buffer zone extending part of the way down the Cumbrian coast) and impacts on them may therefore need to be considered. 8.5.3 Onshore, the map shows many individual and clustered scheduled monuments on or close to the coast, including numerous forts and chapels, such as the cluster of remains at the Isle of Whithorn. In addition to the mapped data, there are numerous listed buildings on and close to the coast, ranging from those within historic towns and villages such as Kirkcudbright and Wigtown, to more isolated lighthouses (e.g. the Category A listed Mull of 328 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Galloway lighthouse). Any assessment of the suitability of sites would need to take into account impacts on these designated sites and their setting. 8.6 Defence 8.6.1 The coastal military locations which occur within this region are shown in Figure 8.9. Military interests in this region include: • An MOD Air Traffic Radar facility at West Freugh former RAF station; • Luce Bay Gunnery and Bombing Range used by the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) (currently protected by Bylaw but under review); • Kirkcudbright Training Area on the North coast of the Solway Firth providing field fire and dry training exercise; • Dundrennan official weapon test site, a triangular sea area East of Luce Bay, South of Kirkcudbright at the entrance to the Solway Firth; • Portpatrick port; and • A Royal Navy SXA, which extends along the Western edge of this SORER. Figure 8.9 Defence activities in the South West Region 8.6.2 Figure 8.10 shows the known defence activities which take place within the current search areas for offshore wind energy in the South West Region. 329 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Figure 8.10 Military Practice Areas and Solway (Area of Search) 8.6.3 In terms of employment, defence activities account for around 310 employees in the South-West Region. 8.7 Environment Designated Sites 8.7.1 The following designated sites are of potential relevance to development in the South West region: • The Upper Solway Flats and Marshes is designated as an SPA and Ramsar site for the bird species it supports. Further west, Loch of Inch and Torrs Warren at the northern end of Luce Bay is also protected as an SPA as a result of support for Hen harrier and Greenland white- fronted goose. Further north and inland, Loch Ken and the River Dee Marshes, and Glenapp and the Galloway Moors also have SPA status; • In terms of the SACs, Luce Bay and Sands SAC is protected for its coastal and inshore habitats and its support for Great crested newts. Overlapping with the SPA and Ramsar site, the Solway Firth SAC is designated for its estuarial and coastal habitats, and for its support for River lamprey and Sea lamprey. In addition, the River Bladnoch SAC is designated for its Atlantic salmon whilst the Mull of Galloway SAC is of international importance for its vegetated sea cliffs; • There several further SACs inland of a smaller scale, protected for a range of habitats including blanket bog, which are less likely to be impacted by any development proposals within this region; 330 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters • There are additionally numerous SSSIs and more local nature conservation designations in the region, including some with particular relevance to development offshore. This includes the Cree Estuary SSSI (notified for a range of features including Smelt, Pink-footed goose, coastal geomorphology, and saltmarsh and mudflats), Wigtown Bay Local Nature Reserve; • A proposal to extend the Cairnsmore of Fleet, Merrick Kells and Silver Flowe Biosphere Reserve to form the wider Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Reserve is under consideration. This status would be in recognition of its combined landscape, wildlife, and cultural heritage value, and is recognised as a means of sustainable management marketing of environmental quality. The areas identified for the extended designation are based on catchments and are linked with the water environment. Development impacts in the Solway Firth are therefore potentially relevant to this area. A core area, buffer zone and transitional area is identified for buffer zones, with increasing levels of flexibility to accommodate development and other activities, and their impacts; • In Cumbria, St. Bee’s Head is designated as a Heritage Coast and there are several SSSIs and more local natural heritage designations on the coast; and • On the Isle of Man there are 17 Areas of Special Scientific Interest (one of which also being a National Nature Reserve). Ballaugh Curragh is a Ramsar site, as a result of its interest for birds. Figure 8.11 Designated sites in the Solway (Area of Search) 331 Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters Landscape Designations within Region 8.7.1 There are three National Scenic Areas within Dumfries and Galloway which all have a strong coastal relationship.

  • Foreword by Derek Twigg MP Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans
    Foreword By Derek Twigg MP Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans As our servicemen and women deploy around the world in support of military campaigns to deliver peace and stability, their professionalism and commitment is held in the highest regard. Fundamental to the success of their work, lies not only with ensuring that they are provided with the right equipment and support, but also, rigorous, effective and relevant training regimes. Low level flying is an essential and demanding skill that the Army, Navy and RAF aircrew must rehearse, develop and refine prior to a deployment in order to meet the requirements of their operational role. Both fixed-wing and helicopter crews require this training and regularly conduct low-level flights on current operations. This enables the aircraft, the aircrew and their passengers to operate effectively and, critically, as safely as possible. Acquiring and maintaining this skill requires constant practice and is crucial to ensure that the aircrew are fully prepared for the challenges they face, often in difficult and dangerous conditions. It is acknowledged that low flying training may cause disturbance for the public. Every effort though is made to minimise the effects on the general public by distributing this essential training across as wide an area of the UK as possible – minimum disturbance for the maximum amount of people. As in every walk of life, there are constant demands on limited resources (airspace) and the military constantly works with civilian organisations to ensure that the training areas within the UK continue to meet their requirements without losing sight of the needs and expectations of others.

  • 20120110-MRS Blurb-U
    A Short History of the RAF Mountain Rescue Service 1943-2013 The RAF Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) has its true origins back in the mists of time when it was, and still is, the duty of the RAF station nearest to the crash site to render every assistance to survivors of a military aircraft accident. Whilst research is still on-going there are records of RAF mountain rescues in the Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) archive going back to 1938. Both the outbreak of the Second World War, with a huge increase in the size of the RAF and the need to move training stations are far as possible from enemy attack i.e. to the West of the UK, led to a huge increase in the number of crashes and the task of searching for and rescuing survivors traditionally fell on the Senior Medical Officer (SMO) of the nearest RAF station to an accident. Of all those involved in the early days of WW2, Flight Lieutenant George Desmond Graham, is credited with taking the most prominent role in the creation of the MRS by constantly bombarding the Air Ministry with requests for equipment and training; he had been posted to RAF Llandwrog in North Wales (now Caernarvon airfield) in 1941 and by the end of 1942 his ad-hoc activities had resulted in 10 lives being saved. His pertinacity resulted in the creation of the RAF MRS in 1943 and he opened his unofficial log book1 for the Llandwrog team on 6th July 1943; he was awarded the MBE for services to Mountain Rescue.

  • Study of Unusual Radar Observations Near RAF West Freugh, Wigtownshire, SW Scotland, April 4 1957
    Study of Unusual Radar Observations near RAF West Freugh, Wigtownshire, SW Scotland, April 4 1957 © Martin Shough1 November 2009 (revised March 2010) 1 UK Research Associate, NARCAP (National Aviation Reportimg Centre on Anomalous Phenomena) [email protected] 1 Study of Unusual Radar Observations near RAF West Freugh, Wigtownshire, SW Scotland, April 4 1957 Martin Shough 1.) Background Unusual radar contacts were detected simultaneously on three tracking radars of the Bombing Trials Unit based at RAF West Freugh and followed for 36 minutes. The three radars were located at two different sites near Luce Bay, Wigtownshire, providing tracking and telemetry for the bombing range operated on behalf of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Farnborough through the Ministry of Supply. There was a 1000ft cloud ceiling and no visual sightings were made, but the case was very influential. The radar operators gave interviews to the press, as did the RAF West Freugh CO, Wing Commander Whitworth, and stories appeared in newspapers around the world (see Appendix D). Wing Commander Whitworth stated that a substantial object of unknown nature had been tracked and that there could have been "no mistake". Questions were asked in the House of Commons. Government responses to inquiries were muted and vague, intimating that a detailed statement would follow completion of expert evaluation. No detailed statement was ever made public. The then Air Ministry stated only that no definite conclusion had been arrived at, offering the suggestions that a weather balloon from RAF Aldergrove, N. Ireland, may have been in the area at the time, or that it was possibly a Soviet spy plane.
